I Thought John Travolta Wanted A Trial In Cruise Ship Sex Assault Case

Turns out that John Travolta really didn't want a trial after all

. John's attorneys have always said John was innocent of the charges made by a former cruise ship staffer that said that when he brought room service to Travolta's cabin what he got was Travolta pressed against him naked with an erect peen. The staffer sued. Travolta's attorneys had tried to force the case to private arbitration but a judge sided with the staffer which meant there would have been a trial. That happened on Monday. Yesterday the two parties settled the suit and the staffer dropped his lawsuit. I guess writing that check was a whole lot easier than having everyone tuning in to watch the trial live everyday while a parade of other witnesses talked about Travolta and his previous actions.

Damn!!! I was hoping Enty would use the piccy that he used on FB y/day! I just loooove the shoe-polish 'do that Revolting Travolta is sporting these days! Kinda reminds me of the fuzzy hair on the old G.I. Joe dolls.

@Libby, I'm so glad you watched. Its a wonderful show and a nice way to spend a couple hours! I was obsessed and watched both seasons in a weekend, and read all articles about the new season. I'm spoiled.

My ex boyfriends Dad used to play poker with Travolta and his boyfriend in the 80's. When he told me this 20 yrs ago I thought it was crazy but believable, why would his Dad make that up? Now I feel sorry for him that he's lived a lie so long and disgusted that he has become a predator. He is the "Queen of Denial"

What a joke. If it was so terrible, than why didn't he go ahead and press charges? If you're a woman and get raped, are you not going to press charges if the guy offers you money? This was a money grab, pure and simple. I'm not even saying Travolta is a saint, but it's obvious money is more important to this douche than "justice."

rcb—I'm totally hooked on DA. Hugh Bonneville played Kate Winslet's doctor in "Sense and Sensibility" way back. A tiny part, then. I was thrilled to see him.I think BOTH the current & future Earls are SO friggin' hawt. I lurve DAISY best of all tho.

Cathy, I love you! People always say they could care less but i don't want to be an ahole. Unless it's a friend and i say, "you mean you couldn't care less". Then they slap the nachos out of my hand just to watch me cry. My point: You're awesome!

I love John Travolta. If he insists on being in the closet and his family seems ok with it. Then i hope he finds a loving partner who wants to be with him. I am sure there are plenty of men who would love to be with him. The fact that he thinks it is so very wrong that he just chooses to try to get sex that way is very sad. The fact that the guy chose money in the end also bothers me too though.

I think John has had loving partners both men and women. However, in my opinion, he is a sexual predator and he gets off on that. He seems to pick those in service positions–God knows they are more easily paid off to drop the charges.

You would think Scientology would rein him in–he is no longer a poster boy for that cult.

I cannot imagine anything more horrifying. Well, yeah I can, but still! A nude gay travolta excited pressing up against you? I would run faster than ever before. Not even straight would this be hot. I understand he's got to get his rocks off, he's in the closeted scene, maybe he thought it would be a hot come on, but come on man! This approach must have been working for him for a while for him to be so brazen about it! Damn man!

What I don't get is how he could easily hire men who would do the same and avoid paying out victims $1.75 million. Jeebus slap $500 down with someone willing to do what you need. The fact that he does it the way he does says a lot about what he's like..Sad.

OMG I want to murder Daisy sometimes! Murder her and make a pie out of her and serve it to Lord Grantham, who I think is a raging ass.

Libby, glad to see you've discovered DA. I often find the downstairs much more interesting than the upstairs. I thought the first season was BRILLIANT and then it became a soap with staggeringly gorgeous/expensive production values, but I'm still hooked. I just finished S3 online last week and I can't believe how fast it went by. WE MUST HAVE MORE EPISODES !!!

The victim tried to do the right thing. He wrote a report for his employer, he tired to have this dealt with. Having been burnt trying to address it the right way he may have gone civil because he didn't trust his employers to support him in court. Or maybe he felt that money would hurt Travolta more than a criminal action. The conviction rate for female sexual assault is so low he may have gone civil because the parameters for proof are lower, like with OJ Simpson. I'm glad Travolta paid, he is a predator & one day it will all come out.

How is Lord Grantham a raging ass? I'm only 2 episodes into season 3, does he get bitten by a were-donkey?

Is it the maid-kissing, or breaking Edith's heart? Because I just finished that episode and am reassured that the writers must be 'saving' Edith for an exciting romance later. Can't have all the girls married so quickly!
